ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to novel hepcidin antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and the use thereof as medicaments for the use in the treatment of iron metabolism disorders, such as, in particular, iron deficiency diseases and anemias, in particular anemias in connection with chronic inflammatory diseases.

INTRODUCTION

The invention relates to novel hepcidin antagonists of the general formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions comprising these and their use for treatment of iron metabolism disorders, in particular of anaemias in connection with chronic inflammatory diseases (anaemia of chronic disease (ACD) and anaemia of inflammation (AI)) or of iron deficiency symptoms and iron deficiency anaemias.

BACKGROUND

Iron is an essential trace element for almost all organisms and in this context is relevant in particular for growth and blood formation. The balance of iron metabolism in this context is primarily regulated at the level of recovery of iron from haemoglobin from ageing erythrocytes and duodenal absorption of iron bonded in food. The iron released is absorbed via the intestine, in particular by way of specific transport systems (DMT-1, ferroportin, transferrin, transferrin receptors), transported into the blood stream and passed on by this means into the corresponding tissue and organs.

The element iron is of great importance in the human body inter alia for oxygen transport, oxygen uptake, cell functions, such as mitochondrial electron transport, and finally for energy metabolism in total.

The body of a human contains on average 4 to 5 g of iron, this being present in enzymes, in haemoglobin and myoglobin and as depot or reserve iron in the form of ferritin and haemosiderin.

About half of this iron, approx. 2 g, is present as haem iron bonded in the haemoglobin of red blood corpuscles. Since these erythrocytes have only a limited life (75-150 days), new ones must constantly be formed and old ones eliminated (over 2 million new erythrocytes are formed per second). This high regeneration capacity is achieved by macrophages, in that these absorb the ageing erythrocytes by phagocytosis, lyse them and in this way can recycle the iron contained in them for the iron metabolism. The amount of iron required daily for erythropoiesis of approx. 25 mg is thus mostly provided.

The daily iron requirement of an adult human is between 0.5 and 1.5 mg per day, and for infants and women in pregnancy the iron requirement is 2 to 5 mg per day. Daily iron losses, e.g. by exfoliation of skin cells and epithelial cells, is comparatively low, but increased iron losses occur, for example, in women during menstrual bleeding. Blood losses generally can considerably reduce iron metabolism, since about 1 mg of iron is lost per 2 ml of blood. The normal daily iron loss of approx. 1 mg is conventionally replaced again by an adult, healthy human via the daily food intake. Iron metabolism is regulated via absorption, the absorption rate of the iron present in food being between 6 and 12%, and in the event of iron deficiency the absorption rate is up to 25%. The absorption rate is regulated by the organism as a function of iron requirement and the size of the iron store. In this context, the human organism uses both divalent and trivalent iron ions. Iron(III) compounds are conventionally dissolved in the stomach at a sufficiently acid pH and are thus made available for absorption. Absorption of the iron takes place in the upper small intestine by mucosa cells. In this context, for absorption trivalent non-haem iron is first reduced to Fe²⁺ e.g. by ferrireductase (duodenal cytochrome b at the membrane) in the membrane of intestinal cells, so that it can then be transported by the transport protein DMT1 (divalent metal transporter 1) into the intestinal cells. On the other hand, haem iron enters into the enterocytes unchanged via the cell membrane. In the enterocytes, iron is either stored as depot iron in ferritin or released into the blood by the transport protein ferroportin, bonded to transferrin. Hepcidin plays a central role in this operation, since it is the essential regulation factor of iron uptake. The divalent iron transported into the blood by the ferroportin is converted into trivalent iron by oxidases (ceruloplasmin, hephaestin), which is then transported to the relevant places in the organism by means of transferrin (see for example: “Balancing acts: molecular control of mammalian iron metabolism”. M. W. Hentze, Cell 117, 2004, 285-297.)

The regulation of the iron level in this context is controlled or regulated by hepcidin.

Hepcidin is a peptide hormone which is produced in the liver. The prevailing active form has 25 amino acids (see for example: “Hepcidin, a key regulator of iron metabolism and mediator of anemia of inflammation”. T. Ganz Blood 102, 2003, 783-8), although two forms shortened at the amino end, hepcidin-22 and hepcidin-20, have been found. Hepcidin acts on iron uptake via the intestine, via the placenta and on the release of iron from the reticuloendothelial system. In the body, hepcidin is synthesized from so-called pro-hepcidin in the liver, pro-hepcidin being coded by the so-called HAMP gene. If the organism is adequately supplied with iron and oxygen, increased hepcidin is formed. In the mucosa cells of the small intestine and in the macrophages, hepcidin binds to ferroportin, by means of which iron is conventionally transported out of the cell interior into the blood.

The transport protein ferroportin is a membrane transport protein comprising 571 amino acids which is formed and located in the liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, intestine and placenta. In particular, in this context ferroportin is located in the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelial cells. The ferroportin bound in this way effects export of iron into the blood here. In this context, ferroportin very probably transports iron as Fe²⁺. If hepcidin is bound to ferroportin, ferroportin is transported into the cell interior and degraded, as a result of which the release of iron from the cells is then almost completely blocked. If the ferroportin is inactivated via hepcidin, the iron stored in the mucosa cells therefore cannot be transported away, and the iron is lost with the natural exfoliation of cells via the stool. As a result, absorption of iron in the intestine is reduced by hepcidin. On the other hand, if the iron content in the serum is lowered, hepcidin production in the hepatocytes of the liver is reduced, so that less hepcidin is released and therefore less ferroportin is inactivated, as a result of which an increased amount of iron can be transported into the serum.

Ferroportin is moreover located to a high degree in the reticuloendothelial system (RES), to which the macrophages also belong.

Hepcidin plays an important role here in the event of impaired iron metabolism in the context of chronic inflammations, since interleukin-6 in particular is increased with such inflammations, which leads to an increase in the hepcidin level. Increased hepcidin is bound to the ferroportin of the macrophages by this means, as a result of which release of iron is blocked here, which in the end then leads to an inflammation-related anaemia (ACD or AI).

Since the organism of mammals cannot actively excrete iron, iron metabolism is essentially controlled via cellular release of iron from macrophages, hepatocytes and enterocytes by way of hepcidin.

Hepcidin thus plays an important role in functional anaemia. In this case, in spite of a full iron store, the iron requirement of bone marrow for erythropoiesis is not met sufficiently. The reason for this is assumed to be an increased hepcidin concentration, which in particular limits the transport of iron from the macrophages by blocking the ferroportin and thus greatly reduces the release of iron recycled by phagocytosis.

In the event of a disturbance in the hepcidin regulation mechanism, a direct effect thus manifests itself on iron metabolism in the organism. For example, if hepcidin expression is prevented, for example by a genetic defect, this leads directly to an overloading of iron, which is known as the iron storage disease haemochromatosis.

On the other hand, overexpression of hepcidin, for example due to inflammation processes, for example with chronic inflammations, results directly in reduced serum iron levels. In pathological cases this can lead to a reduced content of haemoglobin, reduced erythrocyte production and therefore to an anaemia.

The duration of use of chemotherapeutics in carcinoma treatments can be significantly reduced by an existing anaemia, since the state of reduced formation of red blood corpuscles caused by the chemotherapeutics employed is intensified still further by an existing anaemia.

Further symptoms of anaemias include tiredness, pallor and reduced attention capacities. The clinical symptoms of anaemia include low serum iron contents (hypoferraemia), low haemoglobin contents, low haematocrit level and a reduced number of red blood corpuscles, reduced reticulocytes and increased values of soluble transferrin receptors.

Iron deficiency symptoms or iron anaemias are conventionally treated by supplying iron. In this context, substitution with iron takes place either by the oral route or by intravenous administration of iron. Erythropoietin and other erythropoiesis-stimulating substances can moreover also be employed in the treatment of anaemias to give a boost to the formation of red blood corpuscles.

Anaemias which are caused by chronic diseases, e.g. chronic inflammatory diseases, can be treated only inadequately with such conventional treatment methods. Cytokines, such as in particular inflammatory cytokine, in particular play a particular role in anaemias which are based on chronic inflammation processes. An overexpression of hepcidin occurs in particular with such chronic inflammatory diseases and is known to lead to a reduced availability of iron for the formation of the red blood corpuscles.

From this emerges the need for an effective treatment method for hepcidin-mediated or -imparted anaemias, in particular those which cannot be treated with conventional iron substitution, such as those anaemias which are caused by chronic inflammatory diseases (ACD and AI).

Anaemia is to be attributed inter alia to those chronic inflammatory diseases mentioned, and to malnutrition or low-iron diets or unbalanced, low-iron eating habits. Anaemias moreover occur due to reduced or poor absorption of iron, for example due to gastrectomies or diseases such as Crohn's disease. An iron deficiency can also occur as a result of an increased blood loss, e.g. due to an injury, heavy menstrual bleeding or blood donation. An increased iron requirement in the growth phase of adolescents and children and in pregnant women is also known. Since an iron deficiency leads not only to a reduced formation of red blood corpuscles but therefore also to a poor supply of oxygen to the organism, which can lead to the abovementioned symptoms, such as tiredness, pallor and lack of concentration and also precisely in adolescents to long-term negative effects on cognitive development, a particularly effective therapy in addition to the known conventional substitution therapy is also of particular interest for this sector.

Compounds which bind to hepcidin or to ferroportin and therefore inhibit the binding of hepcidin to ferroportin and therefore in turn prevent the inactivation of ferroportin by hepcidin, or compounds which, although hepcidin is bound to ferroportin, prevent the internalization of the hepcidin-ferroportin complex, and in this manner prevent the inactivation of the ferroportin by the hepcidin, can be called in general terms hepcidin antagonists.

By using such hepcidin antagonists, there is moreover also generally the possibility, for example by inhibiting hepcidin expression or by blocking the hepcidin-ferroportin interaction, of acting directly on the regulation mechanism of hepcidin and therefore of preventing via this route blocking of the iron transport pathway from tissue macrophages, liver cells and mucosa cells into the serum via the transport protein ferroportin. With such hepcidin antagonists or ferroportin expression inhibitors, substances are therefore available which are suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments in the treatment of anaemias, in particular anaemias with chronic inflammatory diseases. These substances can be employed for treatment of such disorders and the resulting diseases, since these have a direct influence on the increase in the release of recycled haem iron by macrophages and effect an increase in the iron absorption of iron released from food in the intestinal tract. Such substances, inhibitors of hepcidin expression or hepcidin antagonists, can therefore be used for treatment of iron metabolism disorders, such as iron deficiency diseases, anaemias and anaemia-related diseases. In particular, this also includes those anaemias which are caused by acute or chronic inflammatory diseases, such as, for example, osteoarticular diseases, such as rheumatoid polyarthritis, or diseases which are associated with inflammatory syndromes. Such substances can therefore be of particular benefit in particular in the indications of cancer, in particular colorectal cancer, multiple myeloma, ovarian and endometrial cancer and prostate cancer, CKD 3-5 (chronic kidney disease stage 3-5) CHF (chronic heart failure), RA (rheumatoid arthritis), SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease).

PRIOR ART

Hepcidin antagonists or compounds which have an inhibiting or assisting action on the biochemical regulation pathways in iron metabolism are known in principle from the prior art.

Thus, for example, WO 2008/036933 describes double-stranded dsRNA which has an inhibiting action on the expression of human HAMP genes in cells and therefore already suppresses the formation of hepcidin, which is coded by the HAMP gene, at a very early stage in the iron metabolism signal pathway. As a result, less hepcidin is formed, so that hepcidin is not available for the inhibition of ferroportin, so that the transport of iron from the cell into the blood by ferroportin can take place unimpeded.

Further compounds which aim directly at reduction of hepcidin expression are known from US 2005/020487, which describes compounds which have an HIF-α stabilizing action and therefore lead to a reduction in hepcidin expression.

The subject matter of US 2007/004618 is siRNA, which has a directly inhibiting action on hepcidin mRNA expression.

All these compounds or methods are therefore those which start in the iron metabolism pathway before formation of the hepcidin and already regulate its general formation downwards. In addition, however, also such substances and compounds are known and described in the prior art which bind in the body to hepcidin which has already formed and therefore inhibit its binding action on the membrane transport protein ferroportin, so that an inactivation of ferroportin by hepcidin is no longer possible. Such compounds are therefore so-called hepcidin antagonists, those based on hepcidin antibodies being known in particular from this group. Such documents are furthermore known in the prior art which describe various mechanisms for action on hepcidin expression, for example by antisense RNA or DNA molecules, ribozymes and anti-hepcidin antibodies. Such mechanisms are described, for example, in EP 1 392 345.

WO2009/058797 furthermore discloses anti-hepcidin antibodies and the use thereof for specific binding to human hepcidin-25, and therefore the use thereof for therapeutic treatment of low iron contents, in particular of anaemias.

Further compounds which act as hepcidin antagonists and are formed from the group of hepcidin antibodies are known from EP 1 578 254, WO2008/097461, US2006/019339, WO2009/044284 or WO2009/027752.

In addition, antibodies which bind to ferroportin-1 and therefore activate ferroportin in order to assist in the iron transport from the cell into the serum by this means are also known. Such ferroportin-1 antibodies are known, for example, from US2007/218055.

All these compounds described which can act as hepcidin antagonists or can display an inhibiting action in hepcidin expression are compounds of higher molecular weight, in particular those which are chiefly obtainable by genetic engineering processes.

In addition, low molecular weight compounds which play a role in iron metabolism and which can have either an inhibiting or also an assisting action are also known.

WO2008/109840 thus describes certain tricyclic compounds which can be employed in particular for treatment of disorders in iron metabolism, such as, for example, ferroportin disorders, these compounds being able to act by regulation of DMT-1 in the form of inhibition or activation. In this context, the compounds of this WO08/109,840 are described in particular as DMT-1 inhibitors, whereby they can preferably be employed on diseases with increased iron accumulation or iron storage diseases, such as haemochromatosis.

WO2008/121861 also discloses low molecular weight compounds which have a regulating action on the DMT-1 mechanism. Certain pyrazole and pyrrole compounds are dealt with here, treatment of iron overloading disorders, for example on the basis of ferroportin disorders, also being described here in particular.

The subject matter of US2008/234384 is furthermore certain diary and diheteroaryl compounds for treatment of disorders in iron metabolism, such as, for example, ferroportin disorders, which likewise by their action as DMT-1 inhibitors can be employed in particular for treatment of disorders on the basis of increased iron accumulation. In this document, however, possible DMT-1 regulatory mechanisms which can be employed for use on iron deficiency symptoms are also mentioned quite generally.

The same applies to WO2008/151288, which describes certain aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with an action on DMT-1 regulation and therefore for treatment of disorders in iron metabolism.

The low molecular weight compounds described in the prior art which have an action on iron metabolism are therefore based on DMT-1 regulatory mechanisms and are disclosed in particular for use as agents for treatment of iron accumulation disorders or iron overloading syndromes, such as haemochromatosis.

“Role of STAT1, NF-kappaB, and C/EBPbeta in the macrophage transcriptional regulation of Hepcidin by mycobacterial infection and IFN-gamma” (Sow Fatoumata B. et al., Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 86 (5), 2009) refers to the use of NFkB inhibitors as hepcidin antagonists but remains silent about the use of 8-sulfonaminoquinoline derivatives.

“Hepcidin in human iron disorders: Therapeutic implications” (Pietrangelo et al., Journal of Hepatology, 54 (1), 2011) refers to the use of hepcidin antagonists for treating iron metabolism disorders such as anaemia. Nevertheless, the publication remains silent about the use of 8-sulfonaminoquinoline derivatives in such indication.

“Hepcidin—Central-regulator of iron-metabolism” (Atanasiu Valeriu et al., European Journal of Haematology, 78 (1), 2007) gives an overview of hepcidin and its function. However, no indications of low molecular weight antagonists, in particular those with an sulfonaminoquinoline structure, emerge from this.

Several chemical compounds on the structural basis of sulfonaminoquinolines have been described to be used in the medical field e.g. in cancer or diabetes treatment, as anti malaria agent, antibacterial agent or as metalloproteinase inhibitors, kinase inhibitors or phosphatase inhibitors etc. For example, EP 726254 relates to N-(4-quinolylcarbonyl)guanidines as hydrogen ion-sodium antiporter inhibitors. Further documents, referring to 8-sulfonaminoquinoline derivatives for use in the medical field are e.g. WO2010/051064 A1, WO2008/074068 A1, US2007/254894 A1 or “Identification of N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzenesulfonamides as agents capable of down-regulating NfkappaB activity within two separate high-throughput screens of NfkappaB activation” (Xie et al., Bioorganic & Medical Chemistry Letters, 18 (1), 2007), “Convenient preparation of N-8-quinolinyl benzenesultams as novel NF-kappaB inhibitors” (Xie et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 49 (14), 2008) or “Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activities of N-quinolin-8-yl-arylsulfonamides” (Da Silva et al., Bioorganic & Medical Chemistry, 15 (24), 2007).

WO2008/144011 A1 refers to the use of selected 8-sulfonaminoquinoline derivatives in the medical treatment of autoimmune deficiencies and inflammatory disorders such as e.g. aplastic anemia (automimmune attack on the bone marrow), pernicious anemia (anemia due to improper absorption of vitamin B12), systemic lupus erythematosus, or inflammatory bowel disease. Nevertheless, the document remains silent about the use of the selected 8-sulfonaminoquinoline derivatives in the treatment of iron metabolism disorders such as e.g. iron deficiency diseases or iron anaemia.

Further, WO2009/134973 A1 refers to the use of selected 8-sulfonaminoquinoline derivatives in the medical treatment of e.g. aplastic anemia but remains silent about any use thereof in the treatment of iron metabolism disorders, especially of iron deficiency diseases or iron anaemia.

Furthermore the use of sulfonaminoquinolines in the formation of metal complexes is known, such as e.g. iron (III) complexes as described in “Fluorometric determination of iron using 5-(4-methoxyphenylazo)-8-(4-toluenesulfonamido)quinoline” (Zeng Zuotao and Jewsbury Roger A., Analyst, 125 (9), 1661-1665, 2000).

Accordingly, chemical compounds on the structural basis of sulfonaminoquinoline have not yet hitherto been described in connection with treatment of disorders in iron metabolism. Furthermore, no low molecular weight chemical structures which display their action as hepcidin antagonists as a result are suitable for treatment of disorders in iron metabolism have yet been described hitherto.

Object

The object of the present invention was to provide in particular such compounds which can be employed for use for iron deficiency disorders or anaemias, in particular ACD and AI and which act in iron metabolism in particular as hepcidin antagonists and therefore display an antagonistic and via this a regulating action in the hepcidin-ferroportin interaction in iron metabolism. It was furthermore in particular an object of the present invention to provide in this context such compounds which are chosen from the group of low molecular weight compounds and which generally can be prepared by simpler synthesis routes than the antagonistic or hepcidin-inhibiting compounds obtainable by genetic engineering processes, such as RNA, DNA or antibodies.

The compounds of the general structural formula (I), (la) and (Ib) respectively, according to the present invention, comprise pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

A further aspect of the present invention is directed to the new compounds according to the general formula (Ib)

with the substituent definition according to one or more of the aforementioned embodiments. Preferably such new compounds are selected from the compounds as defined in the aforementioned table with the example compounds Nos. 113, 114, 115, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 398, 399, 401, 402, 403, 405, 407, 412, 413, 416, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, and 429.

A further aspect of the present invention relates to the new compounds according to the generals formula (Ib) and preferably of the new compounds Nos. 113, 114, 115, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 398, 399, 401, 402, 403, 405, 407, 412, 413, 416, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, and 429 as described herein for the use as a medicament.

In principle, in the context of the present invention it is possible to combine the individual preferred, more preferred or particularly preferred meanings for the substituents R¹ to R¹⁵ and X with one another. That is to say that the present invention includes compounds of the general formula (I), (la) and (Ib) respectively in which, for example, the substituents R¹ to R⁵ and R⁷ have the general meaning and the substituents R⁶ and R⁸ and X have a preferred meaning or the substituents R¹ to R⁵ and R⁷ have a preferred meaning and the substituents R⁶ and R⁸ and X have the general meaning etc.

Depending on their structure, if asymmetric carbon atoms are present the compounds according to the invention can exist in stereoisomeric forms (enantiomers, diastereomers). The invention therefore includes the use of the enantiomers or diastereomers and their particular mixtures. The enantiomerically pure forms can optionally be obtained by conventional processes of optical resolution, such as by fractional crystallization of diastereomers therefrom by reaction with optically active compounds. If the compounds according to the invention can occur in tautomeric forms, the present invention includes the use of all the tautomeric forms.

The compounds provided according to the invention can be present as mixtures of various possible isomeric forms, in particular of stereoisomers, such as e.g. E and Z, syn and anti, and optical isomers. Both the E and the Z isomers and the optical isomers, and any desired mixtures of these isomers are claimed.

The compounds according to the invention of the general structural formula (I) can in principle be obtained by the processes explained in the following synthesis routes with preferred process parameters and the definition of the abbreviations being presented in the examples below.

The numbering of the “general procedures” as described herein is not applied continuously and thus e.g. general procedures nos. 1, 2, 6 and 7 do not exist herein. The same holds true for the numbering of the “synthesis routes” nos. 23 to 26, which are not presented herein.

The meaning of the substituents R¹ to R¹⁵ as far as mentioned herein is consistent with the meaning according to the present invention. Concrete embodiments comprising compounds with selected substituents are presented in the examples below.

The hepcidin-antagonistic action of the sulfonaminoquinoline compounds of the present invention was determined by means of the “ferroportin internalization assay” described in the following.

Principle of the “Ferroportin Internalization Assay”

Organic compounds of low molecular weight which counteract the biological actions of hepcidin on its receptor, the iron exporter ferroportin (Fpn), were identified on the basis of their ability to inhibit hepcidin-induced internalization of Fpn in living cells. For this purpose, a stable cell line (Madin-Darby canine kidney, MDCK) was produced which constitutively expresses human ferroportin fused recombinantly at its C terminus with a fluorescent reporter protein (HaloTag®, Promega Corp.). The internalization of Fpn was monitored by labelling these cells with fluorescent ligands (HaloTag®-TMR, tetramethylrhodamine) which join covalently on to the HaloTag reporter gene fused with the Fpn. Imaging by confocal fluorescence microscopy showed a cell surface location of Fpn in the absence of hepcidin and the absence of Fpn surface staining in the presence of hepcidin. Optimized image analysis algorithms were used to ascertain the cell surface and to quantify the corresponding membrane fluorescence associated with the Fpn-HaloTag fusion protein. This assay allows a quantitative image-based analysis in order to quickly evaluate compounds which can block hepcidin-induced internalization of Fpn. This assay is a direct in vitro pendant of the in vivo action mechanism proposed for medicament candidates and is therefore suitable as an initial assay with a high throughput for identifying compounds which counteract the action of hepcidin on its receptor ferroportin.

Detailed Assay Procedure

-   -   7,500 cells per well (MDCK-FPN-HaloTag) were transinoculated in         50 μl of DMEM medium (Dulbeccos Modified Eagle Medium with 10%         foetal bovine serum (FBS), which contained 1% penicillin, 1%         streptomycin and 450 μg/ml of G-418) in microtitre plates with         384 wells (384 Cell carrier plates, Perkin Elmer, cat. no.         6007430), followed by incubation overnight at 37° C./5% CO₂.     -   The volume of the medium was reduced to 10 μl, and 10 μl of 5 μM         HaloTag-TMR ligands (Promega, cat. no. G 8251) were added in         DMEM medium in order to stain the Fpn-HaloTag fusion protein.     -   15 min incubation at 37° C./5% CO₂     -   The HaloTag-TMR ligand was removed and the cells were washed         with fresh DMEM medium and the volume was reduced to 20 μl of         DMEM medium.     -   3 μl per well of a solution of the test compound (dissolved         DMSO) were added (10 μl final volume).     -   7 μl of 43 μM hepcidin (Peptides International, cat. no.         PLP-4392-s, 100 μM stock solution diluted in water in DMEM         medium) were added per well up to a final hepcidin concentration         of 100 nM.     -   The cells were incubated overnight at 37° C./5% CO₂.     -   The cells were fixed by adding paraformaldehyde (PFA, Electron         Microscopy Sciences, cat. no. 15710-S) directly to the cells up         to a final concentration of 4%, followed by incubation at room         temperature for 15-20 minutes.     -   The PFA solution was removed and the cells were washed with PBS         (phosphate-buffered saline solution), in each case 30 μl         remaining in the plate.     -   20 μl of Draq5 (Biostatus, cat. no. DR 51000) were added up to a         final concentration of 2.5 μM in order to stain the cell nuclei,         and the plates were sealed with a foil plate seal.     -   The plates were analysed with the Opera Plate Imager (Opera         Confocal Plate Imager, Perkin Elmer) with 7 images per well; 440         ms exposure time per image, 1 μM focal point height.

Analysis of the Data

-   -   Optimized algorithms were used for the image analysis to         ascertain and quantify the fluorescence associated with the cell         surface as a measure of the cell surface location of         Fpn-HaloTag.     -   The final display corresponded to the percentage content of         cells which showed membrane fluorescence: wells treated with 100         nM hepcidin gave the lowest values (negative control display=0%         inhibition of the Fpn internalization) and wells which were not         treated with hepcidin resulted in the maximum percentage content         of cells with membrane fluorescence (positive control display         100% inhibition of the Fpn internalization).     -   On each plate, the median value of the 6 positive and 6 negative         control values was used to calculate the percentage inhibition         of the compounds tested according to the following formula:

$I = {100 \times \frac{R_{neg} - R_{compound}}{R_{neg} - R_{pos}}}$

-   -   where:         -   R_(pos) positive control display value (median)         -   R_(neg) negative control display value (median)         -   R_(compound) display value of the compound investigated         -   I percentage inhibition by the particular compound     -   In dose/effect studies, dilution series (11 concentrations, 1:2         dilution steps) of the compounds were tested (concentration         range from 0.04 to 40 μM), and standardized signal values of         replicated tests (average of 6 titrations on independent plates)         were used to fit the curves by a robust standard dose/effect         model with four parameters (lower asymptote, upper asymptote,         IC50, gradient).
